Re: printable online docs
OK, so where does one find a good editor (one that generates TOC, numbers
pages, etc.)
for these various formats?
Remember that if we're truly going to support the largest number of
players/users, there has
to be a viewer/editor that works under Windows & Mac, as well as UNIX.
That's why I figured Word was a good format - StarOffice can read it too, so
one covers
just about all the OSes.
